Shanty Trail

Lake St. Peter Provincial Park   

Named after an abandoned log cabin, this trail branches off the Lookout Trail after the lookout.

South of Algonquin, Lake St. Peter features two sandy beaches and opportunities to boat, fish, bike and hike. It has two trails that lead to a lookout, a kettle pond and a derelict shanty, and is linked to the Hastings Heritage Trail.

This mineral-rich area is a rockhound’s delight and a magnet for artists.
